Using 30 seconds as a proposal tool is an absolute win

Using 30 seconds as a proposal tool is an absolute win

This feels like a scene out of a cute movie that doesn't know it needs to happen.

Popping the question to the one you love is not something you want to mess up. There's the pressure of wondering if they'll say yes, and if you plan an elaborate proposal, there's the added stress of being in the spotlight. 

This is why many people choose to keep their proposals intimate. But with social media, it's hard to keep everything private these days. 

A mother of a soon-to-be bride shared one of the most precious proposals ever. That might be spilling the beans with the story, but this is the kind of story that should be celebrated thoroughly. 

All it took was a game of 30 Seconds for Lance to win his girlfriend, Tamara's, hand in marriage.  A game synonymous with laughter and sometimes fierce rivalry, set the stage for this couple to begin their new chapter. 

In the video, we see Lance and Tamara having their turn. Lance very calmly runs through the clues, while Tamara gives rapid-fire answers, staying on point with her guesses. She is poised in her responses, focused and determined, revealing a woman who's on a winning streak.
